His latest and most famous band is the indie-electro project Cansei de Ser Sexy. In 2003, Adriano formed the group with some friends as a joke. He plays the drums and produces the band, besides eventually playing bass, guitar and singing. Cansei de Ser Sexy was signed to indie label Sub Pop in the beginning of 2006 to release their first international album, and have toured the U.K., the U.S., and Canada extensively, opening for acts including Ladytron and Klaxons and playing on the "Mojave" stage at Coachella 2007.[3]
